The broker showed ESPN.com’s Joe Schad two cell phone videos—first shot to be used as proof of authenticity—that show the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback signing helmets and footballs on a hotel room bed. The broker told ESPN.com that the signings occurred Jan. 11-12 at The Omni in New Haven, Conn., where Manziel was attending a Walter Camp Football Foundation event.

The broker said that Manziel was unaware he was being recorded. The recording does not reveal Manziel accepting money, either. The broker told ESPN.com that Manziel accepted three cash payments and that the quarterback wanted money for new rims.
